Wait ! You Might Be Fooling Yourself !!


Without even thinking for a second, we declare our opinions :

You are so stupid!
You are so slow!
You are so arrgh boring! 
Or on the contrary,

You are Intelligent!
You are Actual smart!
I agree with you, you are Right! 

Wait... What exactly I'm talking about here!?

It’s something called Human nature!
Still not clear...Okay! Let me say "Human Assumptions"

What is Assumption?
A noun? Yeah! And?
It is a Disease!! A mental disease!!


We are always taught to look at the things as they actually look!
Can it be true every time?
May be, May be not!

And for this "May be not", I decided to write this post!!

Okay! Let's begin...
What I mean to convey is, things are always not as we look to them, or as we perceive them.
In fact they could be totally antithesis of what 'we thought' or 'we perceived'

Of course everyone is proud of their opinions, their standpoint and their understanding
But actually it is just that what they are comfortable with! They don't know the truth. So they assume!

Assumption could possibly be truth. But on other side it could be miles far from truth.
What we see from naked eyes couldn't just be the exact thing in a complete form! It could be incomplete! It could be part of truth! It could be totally reversal of it!

Basically, it could be everything that we don't know. It could be everything that we are oblivious of! The strange thing about truth is its Inflexibility. You can show the truth in whatever light you want to show it in, but the truth in its actual form wouldn't change! It just wouldn't!  There are diverse angles of seeing truth, and varied angles of comprehending it. 
Truth doesn't work on ones pleasures! It could be favorable or unfavorable, but the real essence of truth is something that very less people understand.

What you call 'Truth' is what you feel is truth and not the actual 'Truth'. For you its truth because it’s convenient and because it’s favorable to you. You would only find actual truth when you would stop assuming and move from your comfort zone; prepare yourself for complete unpredictable impact on you that truth might have.

The So-called Dialogue: First Impression is Last Impression!! Needn't necessarily be true... Again it’s the perspective thing, or in other words 'As you take it'. Talking about me, I find it ridiculous. How can we know someone merely with the sight at first, how can we assume that person is beautiful if he/she is wearing sophisticated clothes and looks rich. It is possible that he/she is made to look like that on that very day, May be he/she could be a criminal that is asking for luxurious life for a day just before he/she is hung until death as his/her last wish !

Now, from an example of my own life,

If I, sitting in a large group of people am laughing loudly, does it imply I'm happy? Extremely happy?
Yes is the answer for majority of normal people. But it could mean anything no?

Can't it be like I'm really sad most of the times and when I find these particular people I forget my worries, and start living in the moment and look so happy like I have never looked before.

Can't it be like for the sake of 'them' I’m behaving that way just to send them the confirmation that I'm happy, though inside I might really not be!

Or

Can't it be like when I appear to be so happy when somewhere the comment is passed on me saying that "Look at him, I wish I were that happy" When actually I'm not happy and inside me there is turmoil for which everybody around is unmindful ! It is possible

Or let's take it other way, 

Someone who appears to be well-mixed up with people may actually be feeling lonely but isn't showing even the tinge of that on his/her face.

Someone, who seems to be eating an amazing no. of cheese burgers at a restaurant all at same time giving everybody around the idea that 'he is gourmet' may actually be having those burgers after having followed the strict diet chart of years from his gym.

Someone who is late for three times consecutively at office meeting, considered as an excuse maker could actually, genuinely was trying to reach on time but something real urgent or demanding came every three times and he got late. Doesn't mean he would come late for rest of the life. Does it? Not really.

Someone who failed in an exam or an important academic test would do no good in future?
What? Oh really! He might outdo every topper under this sun someday. Isn't it possible? For me it definitely is!

Someone who is following a girl everyday on a way after she leaves her home for office would be called a STALKER or a DESPO! Can't it be like that he just wants to have a conversation with her for once? Or may be casual friendship? Or may be some office related information? Or maybe he wants to tell her something really crucial about her ex-boyfriend spreading false stories about her? It could be anything! 

Someone who is looking dull and mediocre could be most interesting person ever..He might chooses to be quiet sometimes, may be he has so many people in his life that he makes it look like he is boring and uninteresting to avoid coming in contact with any more people or may be something else ! Who Knows !!



How can someone be so presumptive?

How can someone comment on something/someone so confidently without having proper insight of that particular thing/person? How can someone be so uppish? Why are people not ready to see it other way? Why don't they believe in the possibility of it being a total blunder? Or their comment totally wrong? May be they are too proud to do that but that's not an excuse to get away from truth isn't it? There is no getting away from truth. The truth always finds its way from various false barriers, from various "Assumptions", from various "Perceptions".

Its matter of choice, you take what you understand. You consider what you can relate to! You can be near to truth yet totally unaware. You could know the truth but are not willing to accept.

Just remember, everything that we see or perceive may not be true as it is ! It might be hiding something that we never know about, may  be its something that we are unable to see, so keep those eyes ready for surprise !

The truth is Final. Yes! But the irony is that even that 'Finale' is different for different people! What a Hypothetical thing this truth is! Well I believe truth is as clear as crystal. Its matter of seeing it from different angles. Its matter of seeing it wholly. Its matter of accepting whatever result it brings. Its matter of surrendering yourself to truth, the 'Actual Truth'.


No I don't want you to end your every sentence with "May be". Neither I want you to be unsure about anything, I just don't wish to see you unyielding when you eventually find out truth that might be unfavorable for you.

I'm not against you or your perception. I just want you to be prepared for the complete inversion from that perception which could be 'Truth'

Just-be-prepared, 

Truth could surprise you. 
Truth could shake you. 
Truth could satisfy you.
Truth could send you on the guilt trip.
Truth could clarify.
Truth could mystify.

It’s about level of your mental preparation to accept it matters.

Let's not assume things, let's surrender ourselves to something called "Truth", 
'THE ACTUAL TRUTH'

Thanks for reading!!!
Love,
J
